Follow live coverage as AFC Bournemouth take on Crystal Palace in the Premier League today. Another top-flight season is covered in detail here at The Independent as reigning champions Manchester City aim to achieve an unprecedented five titles in a row by the end of 2024/25.

The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola’s side, but just as intriguing will be the race for the Champions League places, with more teams than ever hoping for places in the top four. Chelsea continue to spend heavily, Manchester United’s recent rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle are expected to improve this year – yet it was Aston Villa that secured fourth place last season.

Meanwhile, Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town have returned to the elite after being promoted last year, and each of them will be hoping they can stay for longer than just a year. Follow all the latest live action from the Premier League below:
